Why are you building asterisk when its already included in our repo?
See: http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/main/asterisk

 The README says to use the command "asterisk -vvvc",

No they are not, this is only needed if you use specific voip hardware.
BTW Zaptel has been replaced by Dahdi:

After you install Alpinelinux just issue:

apk add asterisk     <- will install asterisk
apk add asterisk-samples   <- will install sample config files

/etc/init.d/asterisk start

Now you can run asterisk -r to connect to local asterisk console

I think getting Asterisk to run first and maybe with mysql support is
your best approach now.
Sqlite needs a lot of debugging and scripting (i think).

 This is all new to me so I really appreciate the help. One

I'm not sure about virtualbox, don't have much experience with it
(only with vmware).
I guess you already know asterisk has issues with running virtually
unless configured properly (because of timers).

If you want to do anything with Alpinelinux I suggest you to read our
wiki. It has a lot of information on how to develop on Alpinelinux.
To create packages be sure to read this info:
http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Developer_Documentation

BTW, if you are successful please make notes about your work and
contribute back by placing information on our wiki.
